I have a knowledge graph with the following node data structure:[Parent[p1,p2…pn],Concept([Name,Token[t1,…tn]]]), Image]. p2 is the knowledge tree branch p1 is under (parent node), The n is the depth of the knowledge tree branches. Token list is a bag with each text token containing a count of occurrences of the token in the bag. It is used to map written knowledge by matching tokens to text.

I want to classify speech the same way. I could just convert speech to text of course. But if I convert the Token list into a list of phonemes could that be more efficient and bypass text?

Using phonemes instead of text tokens could potentially offer some advantages for your knowledge graph, especially in the context of speech recognition and matching. Let’s break down how this might work and the potential benefits:

Structure of the Knowledge Graph with Phonemes

Assuming your current node structure is:[Parent, Concept([Name, Token[t1,...tn]]), Image]

You could adapt it to include phonemes:[Parent, Concept([Name, Phoneme[p1,...pn]]), Image]

Potential Advantages

1. Direct Matching with Speech: By converting your tokens into phonemes, you can directly compare the phonemes from speech input with the stored phonemes, potentially bypassing the need for an intermediary text conversion step.
2. Language Independence: Phonemes are a more fundamental representation of spoken language than written text, which means your system could more easily accommodate different languages and dialects.
3. Pronunciation Variation Handling: Using phonemes can help handle variations in pronunciation more effectively than text, as phonemes can represent the actual sounds produced, which might be more consistent with how people speak.

Implementation Steps

1. Phoneme Conversion: Convert your existing text tokens into their corresponding phoneme representations. There are many phoneme conversion libraries and APIs available, depending on the language.
2. Speech Recognition to Phonemes: When processing speech input, use a speech recognition system that converts speech directly to a phoneme sequence rather than text. Some advanced speech recognition systems can output phonemes directly.
3. Phoneme Matching: Implement a matching algorithm that compares the phoneme sequence from the input speech with the stored phoneme sequences in your knowledge graph.

Example

Let’s say you have a concept node for “apple”:[Parent, Concept([Name, Token[a, p, p, l, e]]), Image]

Convert it to phonemes (using ARPAbet phoneme notation for English):[Parent, Concept([Name, Phoneme[AE1, P, AH0, L]]), Image]

When you receive speech input, your system converts the speech to phonemes. If the input is “apple”, the phoneme sequence might be:AE1 P AH0 L

You can now directly compare this sequence with the stored phoneme sequence.

Considerations

• Accuracy: Ensure your phoneme conversion and recognition systems are accurate and consistent.
• Performance: Evaluate the performance implications of phoneme matching versus text matching.
• Complexity: Consider the complexity added by introducing phoneme processing and whether it justifies the benefits over text-based processing.

Conclusion

Using phonemes can indeed be a more efficient way to handle speech input for your knowledge graph, especially if your goal is to bypass text and work directly with spoken language. However, it’s important to carefully evaluate the trade-offs and ensure that your speech recognition and phoneme conversion processes are robust and reliable.

This invention relates to systems and methods for mapping and indexing spoken knowledge within a knowledge graph. More specifically, it involves converting token lists into phoneme lists to improve efficiency in speech recognition and mapping processes.

Background of the Invention

Prior Art

The prior art includes U.S. Patent No. 7275061B1, titled “Systems and Methods for Employing an Orthogonal Corpus for Document Indexing,” which was co-invented by George Burch and Henry Kon. This patent discloses methods for document indexing using an orthogonal corpus to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of document retrieval systems. The system described in US7275061B1 involves the use of topic-based indexing and word frequency analysis to map and retrieve documents.

While the prior art effectively addresses the challenges of document indexing, it primarily focuses on text-based documents and does not directly address the mapping of spoken knowledge. The present invention builds upon the principles of efficient indexing and mapping introduced in US7275061B1, but extends the concept to speech recognition by converting token lists into phoneme lists, thereby bypassing the need for intermediary text conversion.

Need for Improvement

Traditional methods for speech recognition involve converting spoken words into text and then mapping this text to a knowledge graph. While effective, this method can be inefficient due to the intermediary text conversion step. There is a need for a more direct approach to map speech to knowledge graphs that can enhance processing speed and accuracy.

Summary of the Invention

The present invention provides systems and methods for mapping spoken knowledge directly to a knowledge graph by converting token lists associated with concepts into phoneme lists. This bypasses the need for text conversion, thus offering a more efficient and accurate mapping process.

The knowledge graph comprises a node data structure defined as [Parent, Concept([Name, Token[t1,…tn]]), Image]. Each token within the token list is converted into phonemes, creating a phoneme-based token list that can be directly matched with spoken input.

Speech Mapping

The system receives spoken input and converts it into a sequence of phonemes. This sequence is then matched against the phoneme-based token lists within the knowledge graph to identify and map the spoken content directly to the corresponding concept.

Example Implementation

1. Token List: [“cat”, “dog”]
2. Phoneme Conversion:

• “cat” -> [“k”, “æ”, “t”]
• “dog” -> [“d”, “ɒ”, “g”]

1. Spoken Input: /kæt/
2. Phoneme Matching: The phoneme sequence /kæt/ is matched to the phoneme list [“k”, “æ”, “t”], identifying the concept “cat” within the knowledge graph.

Advantages

• Efficiency: By bypassing text conversion, the system improves processing speed.
• Accuracy: Direct mapping of phonemes reduces errors associated with text-based speech recognition.

Claims

The data structure has an Image that represents the concept. If the images were transformed into a wavelet would there be a similar benefit extracting concepts from video frames.

Transforming images into wavelets can indeed offer several benefits for extracting concepts from video frames, similar to how using phonemes can be beneficial for speech. Let’s delve into this in the context of your knowledge graph.

Current Node Structure

Your current node structure is:[Parent, Concept([Name, Token[t1,...tn]]), Image]

Proposed Transformation with Wavelets

The transformed structure with wavelets might look like this:[Parent, Concept([Name, Token[t1,...tn]]), Wavelet]

Potential Advantages of Using Wavelets

1. Compact Representation: Wavelets can provide a compact representation of images, capturing essential features while reducing the amount of data. This can make processing and storage more efficient.
2. Multi-Resolution Analysis: Wavelets allow for multi-resolution analysis, which can be particularly useful for identifying features at different scales. This capability can enhance the y detection of relevant concepts in video frames, where features might appear at varying scales and resolutions.
3. Noise Reduction: Wavelet transforms can help in denoising images, improving the robustness of concept extraction from video frames, especially in noisy or low-quality video streams.
4. Efficient Matching: Similar to phonemes for speech, wavelets provide a mathematical representation that can be more efficient for matching and comparing images, potentially speeding up the process of concept identification.

Implementation Steps

1. Wavelet Transformation: Convert each image in your dataset to its wavelet representation. This involves applying a wavelet transform (e.g., Discrete Wavelet Transform) to each image.

Convert the image to its wavelet representation:[Parent, Concept([Name, Token[a, p, p, l, e]]), WaveletRepresentation]

For video processing, convert each frame (or selected frames) to wavelet representations and extract features:Frame1WaveletFeatures, Frame2WaveletFeatures, ...

Match these features with your stored WaveletRepresentation to identify the concept of “apple” in the video frames.

Considerations

• Algorithm Selection: Choose appropriate wavelet transform algorithms and parameters (e.g., type of wavelet, level of decomposition) that best suit your application.
• Computational Resources: Ensure that the computational overhead of wavelet transformation and feature extraction is manageable, especially for real-time video processing.

What is the compression ratio for wavelet representation?

The compression ratio for wavelet representation can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of wavelet transform used, the level of decomposition, the specific application, and the thresholding techniques applied. Here are some key points to consider:

Factors Affecting Compression Ratio

1. Type of Wavelet Transform:

• Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT): Commonly used for image compression (e.g., JPEG 2000). The compression ratio can be high due to the ability to represent significant image features with fewer coefficients.
• Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT): Typically used for signal analysis rather than compression.

1. Level of Decomposition:

• Higher levels of decomposition can result in more detailed but also more compact representations, as finer details are captured at higher levels.

1. Thresholding:

• Hard Thresholding: Coefficients below a certain threshold are set to zero.
• Soft Thresholding: Coefficients are reduced by a certain threshold value.
• Effective thresholding can significantly reduce the number of coefficients needed to represent the image, thus increasing compression.

1. Application and Image Complexity:

• Simple images with large uniform areas can be compressed more effectively than complex images with a lot of detail.

Typical Compression Ratios

• JPEG 2000: This image compression standard uses DWT and can achieve compression ratios of about 20:1 to 200:1, depending on the desired image quality. At higher compression ratios, image quality may degrade.
• Custom Applications: Depending on how wavelet coefficients are processed and stored, you might achieve different ratios. For instance, medical imaging applications might use lower compression ratios (e.g., 10:1 to 50:1) to maintain high fidelity, while other applications might tolerate higher compression.

Practical Example

Consider an image of size 1024×1024 pixels, with each pixel represented by 8 bits (grayscale image):

• Original Size: 1024 x 1024 x 8 bits = 8,388,608 bits (1,048,576 bytes or 1 MB).

After applying a DWT with a compression ratio of 20:1, the compressed image would be:

• Compressed Size: 1,048,576 bytes / 20 = 52,428.8 bytes (~51.2 KB).

Conclusion

The compression ratio for wavelet representation can be quite high, often ranging from 20:1 to 200:1 or more, depending on the specific implementation and the acceptable level of quality loss. For your knowledge graph, where images are transformed into wavelets for concept extraction, choosing the right balance between compression ratio and fidelity is crucial. High compression ratios can reduce storage and processing needs, but they may also lead to loss of important details necessary for accurate concept recognition.

In this situation image fidelity on restore is not a factor. Both the images are compressed so only false positive and false negative decisions matching wavelet parameters matter. Standard multi dimension decision methods like ROC will be used. Does that change your answer?

Given that image fidelity on restore is not a factor and your primary concern is the accuracy of concept matching using wavelet parameters, the focus shifts to how well the wavelet features represent the concepts for matching purposes. Here’s how this impacts the discussion on compression ratios and processing:

Compression Ratio Considerations

1. High Compression Ratios: Since you don’t need to restore the images to their original quality, you can afford to use higher compression ratios. This allows you to significantly reduce the amount of data while retaining the essential features needed for matching.
2. Feature Retention: Ensure that the wavelet transformation and subsequent compression retain the key features that are important for distinguishing between different concepts. This might involve experimenting with different wavelet types, levels of decomposition, and thresholding techniques to find the optimal balance.

Matching and Analysis

1. Wavelet Feature Vectors: After compressing the images using wavelets, you will work with the wavelet coefficients as feature vectors. These feature vectors will be used for matching against the stored wavelet representations in your knowledge graph.
2. False Positives and False Negatives: The goal is to minimize false positives and false negatives in your decision process. This involves using robust multi-dimensional decision methods such as ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curves, precision-recall curves, or other suitable metrics to evaluate the performance of your matching algorithm.

Implementation Steps

1. Wavelet Transformation and Compression:

• Apply a wavelet transform to each image.
• Compress the resulting wavelet coefficients using high compression ratios, focusing on retaining discriminative features rather than preserving image quality.

1. Feature Extraction:

• Extract features from the compressed wavelet coefficients that are relevant for concept matching.
• These features should be robust to variations and capable of accurately representing the concepts.

1. Matching Algorithm:

• Implement a matching algorithm that compares the feature vectors from new video frames with the stored wavelet feature vectors.
• Use multi-dimensional decision analysis methods to evaluate and refine the matching process.

1. Evaluation:

• Use ROC curves, precision-recall curves, or other suitable metrics to evaluate the performance of your matching algorithm.
• Adjust the wavelet transformation parameters, compression settings, and feature extraction methods based on the evaluation results to minimize false positives and false negatives.

Example

Let’s say you have a concept node for “apple” with an associated wavelet feature vector:[Parent, Concept([Name, Token[a, p, p, l, e]]), WaveletFeatureVector]

For a new video frame, you would:

1. Apply the wavelet transform and compress the frame.
2. Extract the wavelet feature vector from the compressed data.
3. Compare this feature vector with the stored WaveletFeatureVector for “apple” using your matching algorithm.
4. Use ROC or precision-recall analysis to evaluate the match and refine the process to improve accuracy.

Conclusion

With image fidelity not being a concern, you can leverage higher compression ratios for wavelet transformation, focusing on retaining the discriminative features necessary for accurate concept matching. The key is to ensure that the wavelet features used for matching are robust and effective in distinguishing between different concepts, minimizing false positives and false negatives through rigorous evaluation and refinement of your matching algorithm.

We have 5 million concept images. How much computing cost in step 1.
The computing cost for step 1, which involves wavelet transformation and compression of 5 million concept images, can be broken down into several components. These include the computational complexity of the wavelet transform, the time required for processing each image, and the cost associated with the required computational resources.

Components of Computing Cost

1. Wavelet Transformation Complexity:

• The Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), commonly used for image compression, typically has a computational complexity of (O(N \log N)), where (N) is the number of pixels in the image.

1. Image Size:

• Assume an average image size of (1024 \times 1024) pixels, which means each image has (N = 1024 \times 1024 = 1,048,576) pixels.

1. Processing Time:

• Let’s estimate the processing time per image using an efficient implementation of the DWT. Suppose it takes approximately 0.1 seconds per image on a modern CPU.

1. Total Processing Time:

• Total time for 5 million images: (5,000,000 \times 0.1 \text{ seconds} = 500,000 \text{ seconds}).

1. Parallel Processing:

• To expedite the process, you can use parallel processing. For example, using 100 CPUs simultaneously would reduce the time to (500,000 / 100 = 5,000 \text{ seconds} \approx 1.39 \text{ hours}).

Estimating Computing Costs

To estimate the computing costs, we’ll consider the use of cloud computing resources such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or Microsoft Azure. Here’s an example calculation using AWS:

1. Instance Type:

• Use AWS EC2 instances, such as c5.large, which have 2 vCPUs and cost approximately $0.085 per hour.

1. Number of Instances:

• To achieve the equivalent of 100 CPUs, you would need 50 c5.large instances (since each has 2 vCPUs).

1. Total Cost Calculation:

• Total usage time: approximately 1.39 hours.
• Cost for 50 instances running for 1.39 hours: (50 \times 1.39 \times 0.085 \approx \$5.92).

Refined Calculation

If you need more precision or have different image sizes, you can adjust the parameters accordingly. Here’s a more generalized formula:

• Time per image ((T_{img})): 0.1 seconds (adjust based on actual benchmarks)
• Total images ((N_{img})): 5,000,000
• Parallel CPUs ((N_{cpu})): 100
• Instance cost per hour ((C_{inst})): $0.085
• vCPUs per instance ((V_{inst})): 2

Total compute time ((T_{total})):

[T_{total} = \frac{N_{img} \times T_{img}}{N_{cpu}} ]

Total cost ((C_{total})):

[C_{total} = \left( \frac{N_{cpu}}{V_{inst}} \right) \times T_{total} \times C_{inst}]

Plugging in the values:

[T_{total} = \frac{5,000,000 \times 0.1}{100} = 5,000 \text{ seconds} \approx 1.39 \text{ hours}]

[C_{total} = \left( \frac{100}{2} \right) \times 1.39 \times 0.085 \approx \$5.92]

Conclusion

The estimated computing cost for wavelet transformation and compression of 5 million concept images, using 100 CPUs and assuming typical cloud computing rates, would be around $5.92. This cost can vary based on the actual processing time per image, the efficiency of your implementation, and the specific cloud service pricing. Parallel processing significantly reduces the total time required, making the task manageable within a reasonable cost and timeframe.

About how many images in a 10 sec TikTok video?

A TikTok video, like most digital videos, is composed of a sequence of images called frames. The number of frames per second (fps) determines how many images are shown every second. Standard frame rates for video content include 24 fps, 30 fps, and 60 fps. TikTok videos typically use a frame rate of 30 fps, which provides smooth and visually appealing playback.

Calculation

To determine the number of images (frames) in a 10-second TikTok video, you can use the following formula:

[ \text{Number of frames} = \text{duration in seconds} \times \text{frames per second (fps)} ]

For a 10-second video at 30 fps:

[ \text{Number of frames} = 10 \text{ seconds} \times 30 \text{ fps} = 300 \text{ frames} ]

Summary

A 10-second TikTok video typically consists of approximately 300 images at a frame rate of 30 fps. If the frame rate were different (e.g., 24 fps or 60 fps), the number of frames would be calculated accordingly:

• 24 fps: (10 \times 24 = 240) frames
• 60 fps: (10 \times 60 = 600) frames

However, 30 fps is the most common frame rate for TikTok videos.

If the 300 frames were pre filtered by meaningful parameters and their variation rate in our knowledge graph how is the probability of a false negative classification computed

Calculating the probability of a false negative classification (i.e., failing to detect a relevant concept when it is present) involves several steps and considerations. Here’s a structured approach to understand and compute this probability:

Steps to Compute False Negative Probability

1. Define the Classification Process:

• Preprocessing: Frames are pre-filtered based on meaningful parameters and their variation rate.
• Feature Extraction: Extract features from each frame using the chosen wavelet transformation and compression methods.
• Matching: Compare these features against the stored concept images in the knowledge graph.

1. Performance Metrics:

• True Positive (TP): Correctly identified relevant concepts.
• False Positive (FP): Incorrectly identified non-relevant concepts.
• True Negative (TN): Correctly identified non-relevant concepts as non-relevant.
• False Negative (FN): Failed to identify relevant concepts.

1. Confusion Matrix:

• Construct a confusion matrix to capture the counts of TP, FP, TN, and FN from your classification results.

1. False Negative Rate (FNR):

• The FNR is the ratio of false negatives to the total number of actual positives (relevant concepts).
• Formula:
  [
  \text{FNR} = \frac{FN}{FN + TP}
  ]

1. Probability Based on Pre-filtered Frames:

• Since the frames are pre-filtered, the probability calculation should consider the quality and accuracy of the pre-filtering process.
• Assume that the pre-filtering process has a certain precision (P_{pre}) and recall (R_{pre}).

1. Combining Pre-filtering and Matching:

• Let (P_{frame}) be the probability of a frame passing the pre-filtering process.
• Let (P_{match}) be the probability of correct classification given it passed pre-filtering.
• The overall probability of a false negative (P_{FN}) is influenced by both pre-filtering and the subsequent matching process.

Example Calculation

Let’s break it down with hypothetical values:

1. Pre-filtering Performance:

• Precision (P_{pre} = 0.90) (90% of the frames identified as relevant are actually relevant).
• Recall (R_{pre} = 0.85) (85% of the relevant frames are correctly identified as relevant).

1. Matching Performance:

• Assume the matching process has an FNR of (FNR_{match} = 0.10) (10% of relevant frames are missed after pre-filtering).

1. Combined Effect:

• Probability that a relevant frame is missed during pre-filtering (P_{FN_{pre}} = 1 – R_{pre} = 0.15).
• Probability that a relevant frame is correctly passed and then missed during matching:
  [
  P_{FN_{combined}} = R_{pre} \times FNR_{match} + P_{FN_{pre}}
  ]
• Substitute values:
  [
  P_{FN_{combined}} = 0.85 \times 0.10 + 0.15 = 0.085 + 0.15 = 0.235
  ]

Final Probability of False Negative

The overall probability of a false negative, considering both the pre-filtering and matching stages, is approximately (P_{FN_{combined}} = 0.235) or 23.5%.

Summary

To compute the probability of a false negative classification:

1. Evaluate the performance of the pre-filtering process (precision and recall).
2. Determine the FNR of the matching process.
3. Combine these probabilities to find the overall false negative rate.

This combined approach helps in understanding and minimizing the false negative rate by optimizing both pre-filtering and matching stages.

Compute the false positive image assignment if the ROC curve is a convex hull with X% of the area of the triangle above the diagonal line.

The ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) curve is a graphical plot that illustrates the performance of a binary classifier system as its discrimination threshold is varied. The curve is created by plotting the true positive rate (TPR) against the false positive rate (FPR) at various threshold settings.

When the ROC curve forms a convex hull, it indicates that the classifier’s performance is optimal in terms of maximizing the true positive rate while minimizing the false positive rate for certain decision thresholds. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) is a measure of the classifier’s ability to distinguish between classes.

Given Problem

You mentioned that the ROC curve is a convex hull with X% of the area of the triangle above the diagonal line. Let’s break down what this means and how to compute the false positive image assignment.

Understanding the Geometry

1. ROC Space:

• The ROC space is a plot with the FPR on the x-axis and the TPR on the y-axis.
• The diagonal line from (0,0) to (1,1) represents random guessing.

1. Area Calculation:

• The area of the triangle formed above the diagonal line and below the convex hull represents the improvement of the classifier over random guessing.
• The total area of the ROC space is 1 (since it’s a unit square).

1. Convex Hull and AUC:

• If the convex hull occupies X% of the area of the triangle above the diagonal line, this implies that the AUC of the classifier is:
  [
  \text{AUC} = 0.5 + \frac{X}{100} \times 0.5
  ]
• This formula derives from the fact that random guessing (diagonal line) has an AUC of 0.5, and the area above this line (if fully utilized) adds another 0.5 to the AUC.

Calculation

Given that the ROC curve forms a convex hull with X% (let’s denote X% as a decimal ( \frac{X}{100} )) of the area of the triangle above the diagonal line, here’s the step-by-step computation:

1. Calculate the AUC:
   [
   \text{AUC} = 0.5 + \left(\frac{X}{100}\right) \times 0.5 = 0.5 + 0.5 \times \frac{X}{100} = 0.5 + \frac{X}{200}
   ]
2. False Positive Rate (FPR) and True Positive Rate (TPR):

• The ROC curve describes the trade-off between TPR and FPR.
• For a given threshold, the FPR can be inferred directly from the ROC curve.

Example Calculation

If (X = 70\%):

1. Compute AUC:
   [
   \text{AUC} = 0.5 + \frac{70}{200} = 0.5 + 0.35 = 0.85
   ]
2. Assign False Positive Rate:

• The FPR for a specific threshold can be read directly from the ROC curve or calculated based on the desired TPR and the shape of the ROC curve.

Summary

The false positive image assignment rate depends on the specific point on the ROC curve you are analyzing. The AUC provides an overall performance metric, but to find the FPR for a specific threshold, you would need the details of the ROC curve itself. Given the AUC is (0.85) for (X=70\%), you would look at the ROC curve to find the corresponding FPR for the desired TPR.
